According to a news release from District Attorney Matt Fogal, the goal of the Home Run Derby is to raise money and provide support as well as information for individuals and families struggling with drug addiction. Fogal added the money raised from the event will be donated to a community organization, identified by the Franklin County Chiefs of Police, which "meets the needs in the community related to prevention, treatment or recovery."

The event is open to all ages and the cost to participate is $10 per person, which must be paid in cash on the day of the derby. Participants will be assigned their time slots during registration.

"There is a great spirit in the community with respect to defeating drug addiction, and positive things can truly happen in Franklin County," Fogal said in the release. "In fact, they are already happening thanks to community involvement and unity of effort. Failure is not an option in this fight."

Sponsorships are available with prices ranging from $150-$1,000. Contact Blake Truman at 717-597-9200 for more information.
